  • Patent number: 9196887
    Abstract: An assembled battery wiring member for an assembled battery that plural single cells each having a positive terminal and a negative terminal are arranged in a predetermined array direction and the positive terminal of one of a pair of single cells adjacent in the array direction is connected to the negative terminal of another single cell one after another by a conductive coupling member. It includes a flat cable including plural linear conductors arranged parallel to each other and an insulating film covering the plural linear conductors, and a connecting member to connect the plural linear conductors to the coupling member. The connecting member includes a plate-shaped conductor and an insulation covering the conductor, one end of the conductor is connected to the coupling member and another end of the conductor is connected to the linear conductor through an opening formed in the insulation film of the flat cable.
